if you have 2GB data plan or 4GB then you better be quick and upgrade 2GB (at no cost to 4GB) and i think 4GB to 5GB? not sure about 4GB PLAN.
I just upgraded from 2GB to 4GB at no cost.

I don't need 450 Minutes. I wish they had a 100 minute plan. Voice is on Verizon is expensive. But good for you guys that take advantage of the double data promo.
upgraded one line to the 4gb, the other is on unlimited data using the Unlimited Tether loophole
Thanks!
glad it worked for you guys
Worked for me!

They should. Amazon lists it going through the end of the month, though it could go on longer. Last time I think it ran for over a month.

If you are porting, make sure you port before your Sprint line gets canceled otherwise you might loose your number.

as long as you dont change it after deal is done you should be grandfathered , also i dont know if you will be billed for 2GB and 4GB for this month. Time will tell!
I called about this Friday and they told me its for new lines only.
Edit: with the success of the others on this thread I called again just now and had the double data promo, 4GB for $30 added to my plan!! So if you are told no by the first person you talk to call back and call back until you get someone who will hook you up!

This will be the reason Verizon will get rid of grandfathered plans sooner, rather than later. As soon as they do that...hope you like your current device and contract.

What's the most data you've used in a cycle, and has anyone heard a peep from Verizon? My cycle starts on the 26th and I just cross the 10GB mark. Just curious, and thanks for your response.
Thanks for the reply, I'm wondering if at some point high usage will raise an eyebrow from Verizon. I mean, I'll probably break 15GB this month.
I've never gone over 1GB lol. I'm almost always around Wi-Fi. Most its been was like maybe 600MB.

Far from my maximum, but I'd say it's about average. When I'm not downloading ROM's over 3G.

18 gigs? See, now that's what I'm talking about. I'll get close to that this month. Once we get internet set up I won't use so much, or maybe I'll just get an LTE phone and run everthing off that.
Wow I feel so much better now Thanks! Wifi at my house is so flaky I've started tethering my phone, but I stopped since I was worried about using too much data. I'm only at about 4 gb with a week and a half left on my billing cycle. Guess I don't have to worry
At school, I'm always on 3g, because the wifi is flaky. So I usually use 3 gbs. At home, I'll stay on wifi and use about a gig for when I'm out and about.

Verizon has openly stated that they (will/have already) cap the top 5% of data users. You *might* fall into that category or maybe will soon.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379296,00.asp
edit:
oops I mean throttle, not cap
Also it looks they will just be putting your data on lower priority. So if there's not too much 3G data demand in your area, you'll stream just as quickly.

Well I'm well over 20 gigs and my cycle ends on the 26th, I'll let y'all know how it turns out. Do you realize if I was on the tiered plan that's supposed to be implemented on July 7th that'd be over $200 worth of data? That's rediculous...
I'm looking at 2.4GB and i'm only in day 3 of my cycle lol
Gotta love Netflix at work
The highest I believe I've gone is ~800-900MB. I think I average ~500MB per month. I'm around wifi a lot and I frequently turn my data off when I'm not using my phone.

I know, I'm just using that as an example. The pricing is ridiculous. I'm actually giving my wife the Inc and getting a Thunderbolt so we'll have two grandfathered unlimited plans. And we have LTE here, wonder how much data I'll use then.
Sent from my Optimized Shift using XDA Premium App
I was around 16GB last month. I've only had a data plan for a few months now...the Dinc being my first smartphone. I'll be honest, I'm on a budget and I always get good 3G in my apartment (usually reach around 1Mbps, which is acceptable to me), so I dropped my $40/mo AT&T DSL in favor of using my phone as my main internet via tethering, and I haven't looked back. So glad I'm grandfathered with my unlimited data, but I'm totally prepared if my plans fall through and I have to go back to DSL...I figure it's just a matter of time.

At least you take it lightly
Honestly, 5GB is a lot and if you are using your phones tethering to run your home internet well gotta put that one on you...haha. How many movies did you stream and were they in HD? =)
Throttling always stinks though...I am fairly new to TMO but is there a way to pay more to get it turned back on? Luckily I am on a huge business plan so we don't have throttling.

he wasnt asking for that. he wants to know how much data he has used for the month. thats the my account app. you mistaken it for benchmarking the network speed
i upgraded to the 10gb cap because I burn through data like no tomorrow.
before I updated my plan I couldnt check my data use but they did throttle me.
many times before I had ran xbox live and world of warcraft through my phone and never got throttled. So I think they are watching closer!
How much for the 10 GB cap?

i went over my 5gb data last month cause my internet went out and i tethered to my desktop. i did it for about 5 days (mostly nights when i am at the desktop) streaming youtubes and show series. my bill cycle was ending so i didnt care if i get capped but it really sucks because its god awfully slow..
I upgraded my line to the SGS3 yesterday and now I'm noticing that my usage says certain usage out of 4 GB. Not sure what's going on but it appears like Sprint may be removing the unlimited data feature soon? They've been changing a lot of things on their website lately.
Anyways, Overstew sent me this picture of his usage.

Very interesting. Can you hop on their support chat and ask why you're showing a 4GB data limit? Mine is still showing unlimited, but I have not made any account changes or upgrades since 9/2011.
Unlimited Data is practically the only thing keeping me on Sprint. Hell, even T-Mobile is better...
Just noticed that's my screenshot lol.
I'll chat with them and see but I don't really see myself getting an accurate answer from Sprint reps.

Maybe it's just a 4GB limit per day.
It might have been a bug with the 1 second Leap Second that happened at the end of last month. Just a guess since the billing cycle for the 4GB above is from 4/1 to 4/1.
For more information on it, click here:

It's a website bug, I've had customers come in before showing the same thing.

a packet is a packet, doesn't matter if it comes from a phone, a computer, or a leap frog toy that your 2 year old son wiped his boogers on. anyone with a clue would know you can torrent on your phone too. did you also forget that some people have done away with cable and simply stream netflix and hulu via HDMI from their phones to their TVs? what about some of the new games that require hundreds of MB of additional data to be downloaded to your sdcard before you can even play it? should they get charged tethering fees for not tethering even though they're using the same amount of data as someone who is?

You could try the Mobile Share Plan, which nets you Unlimited Talk, Text, and a shared 1GB of data for ~$95 a month.
That is by far the cheapest plan.

Give AT&T a quick call, theyre really helpful.
Ok, I work at a AT&T COR store. I would suggest the Mobile Share, 6 gigs shared unlimited talk and text and 35 per smartphone. Comes out to 160 +tax. Also we have a pretty good work discount program that comes off the base of your plan. For example if you're job offers gets you 15% off it comes off the 90. PM me if you want more details.

Hey I work at at&t I can tell you exactly but I need to know a few things...
How many minutes between both lines would be towards landlines?
How much data would each user need/use? And how would you be using it?
Do you need unlimited text?
Where do you work or if it is in the other persons name where do they work? just because odds are there is a discount...
I can give you an exact number with that infor before taxes...let me know :thumbup:

Also the mobile share as it stands doesnt honestly save money unless you do have a discount... not only that but they are supposedly going to change them and personally I like the comfort of knowing I have exactly three gigs of internet...
Also if you have a tablet or laptop connect or need either the shared plan is cheaper but unless you have either of those things I dont find it to be super awesome

How does att class what they used to call feature phones in the new plan?
We have a gs3, x10 and a old Samsung flip phone. The x10 was never recognized as a smart phone and while the filp phone has Internet it's very dated and my wife doesn't want a smartphone but does do texting. I have unlimited family messages, more banked minutes than I ever could use, and pay $50 for two data plans totaling 500mb. I also have a 10%discount.

I know this doesn't really help, but I got a pretty sweet deal on a brand new gs3 a couple months ago, took Sim out of my straight talk gs2, cut it down, put it in my s3, changed the APN and good to go! It uses at&t towers, unlimited everything for $45/month... Can't beat it, no LTE, but I have h+ and that's good enough for me when I'm not on WiFi. You might pay a little more for a phone up front, but you will basically get that money back, from the cash you save over most plans!!

@OP: I agree with these questions. Without knowing the answers to these questions, there is no true way anyone can give you specifics. Mobile share works for some but not for others such as myself. It is cheaper for me to utilize other plans and I have two lines with data and messaging along with a discount.
Is there any difference on how discounts, example Military discounts, are applied when switching from data for each individual smart phones to a mobile share plan. Right now I have 4 smart phones, with 2 of them having 200 mb of data and two newer ones having 300 mb of data. It looks as though I could switch to mobile share, have 6 gigs of data, and only pay about $4 more than I am paying now. If the discount is applied so that I save more on the mobile share plan, I will definately come out ahead. Is this correct thinking? Also, I've heard that the tax is calculated different which also can increase the savings. Is that correct as well?

Seems like it won't affect people using a vpn, since it's all routed through 1 ip and it doesn't seem like they are determining this by how much, but if they detect you using torrent apps and things like that. Still alot of the changes T-Mobile are making lately seem to be anti consumer, ie Jump not being every 6 months anymore, trying to do away with corporate plans before the backlash, raising prices on plans, and now this. It's making me want to jump to prepaid honestly.
Tmobiles throttle is ridiculous too. Im talking slower then 1x. Ive been throttled 3 times now in the past year and the max download speed for all 3 times was .15mbps and yes you read that correctly and I typed it correctly. POINT ONE FIVE Mbps for download and thats on LTE and HSPA

Seriously if they start doing this, I'll just go on straight talk for $45 a month with 3gb of data or Cricket.

My bad guise.
T-Mobile will waste tons of money and resources trying to do this. They're already a distant number 3 carrier...just when demonoid comes back torrents are once again on the radar.

it says "they could have their data speeds reduced for the remainder of their billing cycle" not that they WILL
I get throttled pretty much every month. And it sucks especially at super slow speeds.

I've only gotten 4G around town the past few days where before I had full LTE. Seems legit.

well I called last month and they bumped me up for free as a courtesy. But 3gbs is not enuff especially when youre on the road and alot of free time :-/
And throttled again til September 3rd.
Went to xda.com took 3 minutes to load. But yet I run a speed test says 30s. So tmo obviously doesn't throttle some connections like speedtest. Which is shady as hell in my book.

Damn if they are gonna throttle you, you might as well go prepaid on Cricket or Straight Talk. $45 for unlimited talk, text, and 3gb of data each month.
